Description
These three guyed mast radiators were used for the most important AFN (American Forces Network) transmitter in Germany, which works on 873 kHz with 150 kW.
The masts were arranged in a row with a distance of 140 metres between each mast.
At daytime, only the mast in the middle of the row was used for transmission, at night time all three masts were used.
